Cinnamon cookies

I decided on a somewhat special cinnamon star version and baked the cookies with clarified butter and stamped patterns into the dough with a very special rolling pin - of course the recipe also works with butter instead of clarified butter and without a pattern!

Ingredients

300 g flour
220 g brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground vanilla
1 pinch of salt
200 g clarified butter
1 egg yolk


Preparation

In a large bowl, mix the flour with the sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and salt.

Add clarified butter and egg yolk...

...and knead everything into a smooth dough.

Put the dough in the fridge for about 15 - 30 minutes so that it becomes a little firmer.

Then roll it out in portions between two sheets of baking paper (the clarified butter gives the dough a very nice consistency and doesn't stick to the baking paper, otherwise add a little more flour to the surface if it's too sticky).

Roll out the dough, the last time with the pattern rolling pin, and cut out the cookies with a cookie cutter.

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C) upper/lower heat.

Place the cinnamon cookies in portions on a baking sheet lined with baking paper...

...and bake in a preheated oven at 350 °F (180 °C) for about 8 minutes.

Allow to cool on the baking paper and then carefully remove.

It's like a friday and a good day -
peaceful, beautiful Advent season everyone!
